“I’m alive and I want to keep living.”

Stoichkov is a great person and an exceptional player, Only if we had him at Napoli can you imagine the Stoichkov-Maradona attacking duo?

I’m not desperate but I know that some day I’ll be the coach again of some team.

Pele should go back to the museum.

Many people agree with me that many things are not clear in football these days and it is not something people who watch football deserve. The situation will be the same while football is run by people who do not understand football.

He’s a leader and is offering lessons in beautiful football. He has something different to any other player in the world.

I’ve seen the player who will inherit my place in Argentinian football and his name is Messi. He’s a leader and is offering classes in beautiful football.

God makes me play well. That is why I always make the sign of the cross when I walk out onto the field. I feel I would be betraying Him if I didn’t.

I was waiting for my teammates to embrace me and no one came, I told them, ‘Come hug me or the referee isn’t going to allow it.’

Even if there was a hand, it was the hand of God.

The goal was scored a little bit by the hand of God, another bit by the head of Maradona.

You were only a goalkeeper.

People who say that only young people voted on the Internet, those who didn’t see Pele play, forget that children are not orphans. There’s always a father who buys the computer and perhaps influences their vote. I won the people’s vote.

I’ll be too old to face a difficult championship as the one in America will surely be.

To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world.

There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen – me or Pele. Everyone would say me.

It was as if we had beaten a country, more than just a football team.

To travel is to be alive, but to get somewhere is to be dead, for as our own proverb says, To travel well is better than to arrive.

Every girl and every boy that’s born alive is either a little liberal or else a little conservative.

The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.

The days of life pass away like clouds, so do good while you are alive.

I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.

You don’t have to have a reason to feel good, you’re alive; you can feel good for no reason at all!

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.

I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was on of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive.
